This article covers all you need to know when upgrading your Live Lite 8 installation to Live 9 Standard or Suite.

The same information can also be applied to any previous version (1 - 8) of Live Lite, Live Intro/LE, Live Standard or Suite (but please note that only the library in versions of Live 8 will be automatically linked to Live 9's Browser).

What do I need to be aware of when upgrading from Live Lite 8 to Live 9?

When upgrading to Live 9, there are a few things you should keep in mind.

Compatibility of Live Lite 8 sets with Live 9

Live Lite 8 Sets can be opened in Live 9.

By default, Live Sets created with Live Lite 8 point to device presets, clips and audio files stored in the Live Lite 8 library. Live 9 can link to your Live Lite 8 library, allowing you to continue using them.

Live 9 will not import or copy this library, it simply references it - this means that if you manually delete it, it will also be deleted from Live 9.

To learn more about how Live 9 handles your Live Lite 8 library, please see this article.

Your Live Lite 8 Library will appear in Places

"Collect All and Save"

To ensure that no samples used in the Live 8 Sets are lost during the transfer between versions (or computers), you can first open the Sets in Live Lite 8 and use the "Collect All and Save" function to automatically copy all of these files into the Project folder. Live 9 will then use the files stored in the Project folder rather than the ones stored in the Live 8 library.

Performing this operation for every single Live Set created with Live 8 is the most effective way to guarantee that you can safely delete your Live 8 library and re-use your Live Sets with Live 9.

Should I uninstall Live Lite 8 first?

The choice is entirely yours as to whether or not you wish to keep Live Lite 8 on your computer; Live 9 doesn't require any previous Live versions to be installed. Uninstalling Live Lite 8 will also not delete its library from your computer.

Should you wish to manually delete your Live 8 library, we strongly invite you to read the previous section of this article before doing so.

Where can I download Live 9?

Next, choose the Live version (Live 9 Suite / Standard), then choose your operating system and finally click "Download".

For Live 9 Suite owners, or for those who purchased Max for Live separately, you will also see an option to download the latest version of Max for Live. For further information, see this article on Setting Up Max for Live.
